I'm eagerly awaiting the next approval poll given that the last one was before the fallout from the fire. Am hoping the graph of approval over time gets even more hilarious.

That "especially within England" is an interesting one, why does he feel the need to mention that, why does that matter regarding this issue exactly

"Even though we weren't elected to government, who cares just let us govern anyway"

breaking news: whole queen's speech and budget palaver to be abolished, government will now be determined by which party's talking heads can give the most convincing speech to news anchors on results night explaining why the way in which they did better than the other lot is the way that should really matter for declaring "the winner", of which there must be one, and precisely one, which must govern with an iron fist for 5 or so years as is proper

I love that you think our lovely forum code allows me to see who voted for people. We can't even keep a check on PM's.

I liked the discussion in QCS one time when someone was putting lovely racist things in people's avatars/custom titles and hey maybe you should do something about it? and the answer was basically "we don't know who it was, yeah you can pretty much do what you like with those with no consequences to yourself, how about that"

Unfortunately I'm an old and so know little of your soshal medya

Social media expert here. Take a photo of the screen, get it developed at the shop, make photocopies and send them to ten of your friends and ask each of them to send a copy to ten friends of theirs. Eventually one of the letters will reach Boris himself and he will surely do the honourable thing and resign on the spot.

They're somehow not, though. The problem with anything screen based is you can't modify it or doodle on it, you can't rifle through it quickly, searching/scanning sucks and the fact you can only have one screen at once (or two if you use dual monitors but w/e) is a problem too. You can have like 8 different bits of paper immediately to hand.

Just rewatched his speech with the missus-to-be. We were both squeeing, getting literal thrills of that dreaded hope at points. We're getting married in exactly one week, to the minute.. and the thought that at last a politician is speaking like this and being heard just gave us hope that perhaps our future kids will not be so badly hosed after all..

I hear if the mother listens to Jeremy Corbyn speeches while pregnant the child grows up to smash capitalism. can any expectant parents on the forums try this out and confirm/deny please

Threat of fire increases dramatically when work is being done on a building, frankly. Especially if that work involves metalwork of any kind, because it's probably going to involve welding.

Also from all the coverage on the news some of these immigrant suicide fridges might try copycat attacks

RTJ were great, but a full 1/3 of the crowd left after Corbyn, either to see him at left field or for kaisers, so I don't think it's possible to overemphasise quite how many people were there just for him. Amazing.

gotta hurt when people leave at the start of your set because they'd rather listen to the kaiser chiefs

Agreed on that. The enthusiasm is extremely important if we're going to see real change. And so what if it gets cringeworthy sometimes? Enthusiasm does that. It's amazing that we've got a genuinely good person who is genuinely loved by so many people and who has a real shot at leading this country. What a change from the last decade.

I 100% bet in twenty years or so when it turns out that jeremy corbyn did at least 1 thing wrong once that records of this meming will be shown and people will laugh at those 2010s morons who hoped for a thing, but we're going to get laughed at anyway for how silly our clothes look and for not predicting the Giant Thing That Happened In June 2023, so we might as well roll with it

What on earth is his point? That Corbyn wouldn't have been able to exhort a bunch of toffs with appeals to common decency? We already know they don't give a poo poo about poor people or their situations.

corbyn is fine at enticing the unwashed masses with his talk of magic money trees but there's no way that sort of nonsense is going to hold with our sensible well-bred betters

Not sure if the well heeled attendees of Glastonbury are quite the 'unwashed masses'.

i'm glad you want to have an unironic Lower Class Than Thou argument again which this thread is beloved for but in this instance they probably are to piers morgan who I was speaking in the voice of

also this is glastonbury so I think on a literal level unwashed might be accurate

Ascot has large stages and PA systems you can use to address crowds now? I thought it was horse racing. Sounds like it's got crazy down there.

jeremy corbyn walks onto the track as the race starts, "excuse me," taps microphone, "I would like to talk for a second about inequality in-", and is mowed down by ten horses at once, this is what Piers Morgan sees when he dreams, this is the vision he has to share with us

My favourite concert I've been to so far was in a seated venue where everyone stayed respectfully seated throughout, but then dancing in public is just something i cannot get my brain to do so that's probably more of a statement about myself than any objective truth about live music. Still I will gladly lead the political movement for Acceptance of People Who Aren't Currently Dancing it's a key issue affecting the youth.

I feel like there is at least one issue that Mhairi might disagree with Scottish Labour on, i.e. scottish independence, and I can definitely see ScotLab refusing to accept her based on that due to how much NO INDYREF EVER is a key part of their messaging that a sizable chunk of the party won't compromise without a fight even if a candidate is only in favour of it at some point rather than proposing a referendum Right Now. I imagine her overall goal at the moment is to move the SNP in a leftwards direction from the inside. If she was going to jump ship, which I doubt she will tbh, then she'd probably be more likely to join the Greens at this point, and she might have the name recognition to still keep the seat.

I get the impression that she's pretty disillusioned by the SNP as well. If it hadn't been for the snap election she had said she wasn't going to stand again.

What I can find her saying about being an MP was about being disillusioned by politics in Westminster rather than about the SNP specifically, though of course if she had anything against them she wouldn't be saying it now.

Like parliamentary coalitions, I think referendums are fine in theory and the UK just needs to figure out how not to be poo poo at them.
